Chapter 208 Life is not easy
As everyone was talking, they used Qinggong to fly forward. When they arrived in front of the cave, General Shan was very excited.
As a general, he knew very well what these grains meant to the border areas. They were life-saving.
I was so excited that my eyes filled with tears, and I felt sad looking at everyone.
This is the old general who protected the Nanxu Kingdom. Now he is living such a hard life. It's really...
It's sad.
Shan Xingyan looked at his father's thin and dark appearance, and his heart felt like it was broken into dozens of pieces. He became more determined to ask Madam He to cook a few meals for him.
"Dad, look at this grain. Each grain is plump and crystal clear. It is the best food that Second Brother Xia brought. I have never seen such good food before."
My eldest son has seen a lot of things, and the good things he praises must be the best. After all, this child has extremely high standards.
He took several steps at a time, grabbed some and looked at them carefully, and said in surprise: "This is really good stuff. If there is grain, the people should be able to have enough food."
"Oh, I feel guilty after eating something so good."
The thin, dark old man's eyes were full of heartache, and he felt even more sad when he saw everyone. Second Master Xia advised in a gentle voice: "The emperor personally worshipped the sacred mountain and has received two kinds of gifts from the gods. General Shan does not need to worry."
Others also advised: "Yes, yes, no matter how hard it is, it will only take two years. It will be fine after the people have planted. Let's focus on the present first."
General Shan also knew that this was a truth, and he was not hypocritical. He smiled and said, "Yes, you have a point. Such good food must be taken good care of."
"Someone, load the truck immediately!"
He wanted to bring food back to feed the soldiers with a full meal. Even if he lost his life on the battlefield, he would die with a full stomach.
The distant sky was emitting a faint glow. Mrs. He got up early when she was at home. When she woke up, she saw the mother and daughter sleeping in a mess. She covered her mouth and laughed.
He tidied up the quilts for the two of them, put on his clothes and got off the carriage. He was still shocked to see so many unfamiliar faces.
Nanny Gu looked at her and quickly asked someone to fetch water for washing. She said, "General Shan and his men arrived in the middle of the night. I don't know why everyone was sleeping so soundly that we didn't hear any sound at all."
After thinking about it, Mother He guessed that it was related to Lord Chi Yan, and she comforted him softly, "You were too tired on the road these past few days. Maybe you relaxed a lot knowing that you will soon arrive at the military camp, so you slept more soundly."
Listening to what she said, Nanny Gu felt that it made sense and secretly warned herself that it must not happen again.
Knowing that someone was coming, Mrs. He naturally made more breakfast. She baked some fragrant leavened bread, cooked a pot of rice porridge with some vegetables and shredded meat, and added various seasonings.
Xia Yining told her this during her free time. She had tried it once before and it tasted pretty good.
When General Shan came back, he smelled a very fragrant smell, which was no exaggeration to say that it was so fragrant that it could make one's tongue fall off.
He sniffed hard, and only reacted when he walked to the pot. He scratched his head with a blush.
Mrs. He looked at him with a smile and said in a very respectful tone, "I guess you are General Shan. You are back just in time. The porridge can be served now."
She took the bowl she usually used for noodles, which was the largest one at the moment, and filled it up completely. Nanny Gu also put in a lot of pancakes.
"Eat more. Madam He's cooking skills are top-notch. I guarantee you'll want more after eating this."
General Shan knew that this person was the wet nurse of the Prime Minister's wife, so he naturally gave her some face. He smiled and nodded and said, "Then I won't be polite. It really smells very good."
You don't have to care about your image when holding the bowl, you can just squat aside and eat.
When he took the first bite, he was completely amazed, his eyes widened, and he felt that everything he had eaten in the past few decades was in vain.
"Oh my god, Mrs. He is such a great cook. This is so delicious."
"The first bite filled my mouth with fragrance. The pork shreds are not fishy at all. The more I chew, the more fragrant they become."
"I'm really envious of you. You guys usually eat so well?" He instantly felt a little displeased when looking at his eldest son.
Shan Xingyan: “???”
He said helplessly, "Dad, please don't look at me like that. I wanted to ask Madam He to work hard to prepare a few meals for me when we got to the border, but I didn't expect that you are so lucky that you can eat today."
Hearing him say this, General Shan felt relieved. He nodded proudly and said, "You still have a conscience."
Single Star Flame: “…”
He has it so hard, boohoo... But he can't beat dad, so forget it.
As a child, it is inevitable that you will suffer grievances.
Seeing the father and son playing, everyone had smiles on their faces and consciously took bowls to get their own food.
When Xia Yining woke up, the convoy was about to set off back to the military camp.
The little girl, with disheveled hair and panting, climbed out of the carriage, her eyes blurry and she was still dozing off, her little head bumping against her arm little by little.
The whole person was sleeping in a mess, and his face was full of blood.
The Prime Minister's wife didn't expect that she woke up so early today, so she wanted to get up to hug her but was stopped.
"You sit down and finish eating. We will leave soon. Ning'er is in a bad mood and needs to be coaxed for a while." Mrs. He finished her breakfast in a few bites and hugged her soft and sweet little girl to coax her.
"Ning'er is a good girl, Ning'er is great, Ning'er is the most beautiful girl in the world." Mrs. He often said this at home.
Xia Yining nestled in her arms like a little pendant, feeling at ease, rubbing her with her little head from time to time, arching her little butt, and whimpering.
She is so well-behaved and cute, which makes people happy.
Xiao Zi had just woken up, and although she didn't need to sleep at all, she slowly crawled into He Po's arms and put her little head on Xia Yining's back.
So, Mrs. He got two lovely little girls.
The Shan family also has more men than daughters. It is said that things are valuable because they are rare. This scene made General Shan itchy to do it. He thought that no wonder the Left Prime Minister loves his daughter. If it were him, he would love her too.
Look how adorable this little boy is. He is incomparable to those bad boys.
He and his wife can't have a daughter, so they will have to rely on the boys in the family in the future. They hope they can work hard and give the old man more granddaughters.
After finishing his meal in no time, he stopped a few meters away from Mrs. He and whispered, "Is Ning'er awake? Can Grandpa Shan hold her?"
"(づ??????)づ"
Xia Yining: “???”
I heard a strange voice in a daze, and my mind was full of question marks.
"What? Who wants to hug me? Who is Grandpa Shan?"
She stared blankly at the old man a few meters away. To be honest, she couldn't tell who he was from his appearance. From the last name, she thought he was a relative of Shan Xingyan.
She heard that the Shan family had produced a general who had been stationed at the border for generations to protect the safety of the people of Nanxu Kingdom. She respected heroes very much.
Naijiji stretched out his little arms, looking as if he agreed.
